INTRODUCTION 

THE  writer  has  for  some  time  felt  the  need  in  the  landscape  field, 
especially  by  the  amateur  gardener,  for  a  book  of  this  type.  Such 
a  list  will  be  of  little  value  to  the  expert  gardener  and  to  the  property 
owner  who  has  made  an  exhaustive  study  of  plant  uses  and  adaptations. 
It  is  hoped,  however,  that  this  will  serve  as  a  ready  reference  to  those  who 
have  no  authoritative  source  of  information  and  whose  limited  opportunity 
for  observation  has  not  enabled  them  to  be  familiar  with  a  wide  range  of 
plant  materials 

This  list  is  not  a  complete  study  of  this  subject.  The  aim  of  the 
writer  is  to  provide  the  property  owner  and  the  student,  in  a  compact  form, 
with  the  essential  facts  concerning  the  correct  use  of  the  more  prominent 
species  of  trees,  shrubs,  vines  and  perennials. 

The  question  is  so  often  asked,  "What  plants  can  I  use  for  a  specific 
purpose?"  This  booklet  will  place  immediately  at  the  disposal  of  such 
persons,  a  list  of  plants  from  which  species  and  varieties  may  be  selected. 

While  the  range  of  material  is  sufficient  to  meet  the  requirements 
of  the  average  property  owner,  it  can,  however,  be  supplemented  with 
additional  varieties  which  should  be  selected  with  much  greater  care. 
This  information  is  the  result  of  a  number  of  years  of  study  in  the  work 
of  professional  landscape  architecture.  Many  of  these  lists  have  been 
compiled,  modified  and  checked  by  competent  gardeners  on  large  estates 
whose  practical  experience  has  enabled  them  to  provide  the  writer  with 
information  of  exceptional  value. 

In  many  of  these  groups  of  plants  there  are  species  which  can  be 
included  in  more  than  one  group.  In  many  instances,  species  which  may 
be  used  in  more  than  one  group,  but  which  are  especially  desirable  in 
only  one  group,  are  not  included  in  other  groups.  It  is  to  be  assumed 
that  a  number  of  these  plants  in  the  different  groups  may  be  transferred 
to  one  group  or  another  by  persons  who  have  acquired  sufficient  expert 
knowledge  to  be  familiar  with  the  characteristics  of  the  plants  under  many 
different  conditions. 

The  correct  selection  of  plants  for  various  purposes  is  but  a  part  of 
the  success  for  landscape  plantings.  Not  only  should  we  know  the  correct 
use  of  plants  as  indicated  in  this  list,  but  their  landscape  value  from  the 
standpoint  of  their  peculiar  adaptation  to  design  and  composition  should 
be  carefully  studied.  The  information  in  this  booklet  should  be  supple- 
mented with  additional  information  procured  thru  descriptions  in  nursery 
catalogues,  encyclopedias,  and  garden  books. 

The  writer  is  indebted  for  many  valuable  suggestions  contained 
in  this  volume  to  Mr.  G.  D.  Cooper  and  to  Mr.  H.  L.  Flint,  who  have 
carefully  checked  and  revised  the  original  manuscript. 

Area  to  which  This  List  is  Adapted 

The  plant  materials  included  in  this  list  are  well  adapted  to  use  in 
the  northern  half  of  Ohio  and  in  regions  having  approximately  the  same 
growing  season.  This  may  be  said  to  include,  roughly,  the  Atlantic 
coast  area  from  Maine  to  New  York.  All  of  New  York,  New  Jersey 
and  Pennsylvania  to  an  elevation  of  1500  feet  above  sea  level,  Northern 
Illinois,  Southern  Michigan  and  Southern  Wisconsin.

1.    PLANTS  FOR  HEDGES 

A.  (As  barriers).  These  should  consist  of  shrubs 
which  are  very  close  growing  and  compact  in  habit.  Many 
among  them  are  thorny  in  character.  They  are  excellent 
as  barriers  for  two  reasons;  either  because  of  the  thorny 
character  which  makes  passage  undesirable,  or  because 
of  the  extremely  close  habit  of  growth,  which  makes  the 
hedge  solid  in  character.

1.     PLANTS  FOR  HEDGES  (Continued) 

B.  (As  edgings  for  walks  and  garden  borders).     Low 
growing   types  of  shrubs    (under   normal   conditions   not 
exceeding  24' '  in  height)  lending  themselves  to  frequent 
clipping  and  shearing.     These  shrubs  are  often  used  in 
edging  formal  garden  walks,  pools,  and  beds  of  plantings. 
In  general,  most  of  these  shrubs  require  a  very  small  amount 
of  pruning,  to  maintain  their  close-growing  compact  habit.

Mostly  rapid  growing  trees  and  shrubs  which  are  entirely 
hardy  under  all  normal  climatic  conditions.    They  can  be 
planted  in  close  proximity  to  each  other,  without  injuring 
the  individual  specimen,  for  the  purpose  that  it  is  being 
used.     This  close  planting  renders  all  such  trees  useless 
for  future  specimen  planting. 

Populus  (in  variety)  Picea  (in  variety)

close  growing,  compact  habit,  thus  forming  a  neat  border 
for  walks  and  flower  beds,  or  for  matting  purposes  over  an 
area.  Some  of  these  are  adapted  to  moist  soil,  and  others 
to  dry  soils,  as  specified  by  the  two  lists  into  which  they 
are  divided.

AND  FOR  ACCENT  PURPOSES 

These  plants  as  a  rule,  should  seldom  be  used  in  large

as  single  specimens  or  in  groups  of  from  one  to  three  specimens 
used  entirely  to  produce  an  accent  either  by  quality  of 
flowers,  color  of  foliage,  peculiar  habit  of  growth,  texture,

EFFECTS 

A.  (Producing  flowers  in  early  spring  before  the  leaves 
appear).  The  types  of  trees  and  shrubs  included  in  this  list 
are  necessarily  few  in  number.  They  add  greatly  to  land- 
scape plantings  by  shortening  the  so  often  uninteresting 
period  just  previous  to  the  time  when  the  leaves  break. 
These  specimens  should  seldom  be  used  in  large  mass  effects.

Atmospheric  conditions  existing  in  the  more  intensely

under  normal  city  conditions.  Collected  native  stock

gardens,  one  finds  the  garden  overrun  with  large  stock. 
There  are  a  few  varieties  of  perennials  which  should  con- 
sistently be  avoided  in  developing  the  small  formal  flower 
garden.  If  used,  these  perennials  will  produce  a  loose, 
rampant  and  ragged  effect  not  in  keeping  with  the  neat 
lines  desired  in  a  small  refined  garden.
